What would happen if it were released to the mass public here at vb rite now?
take a wild guess. A unfinished product, hits the shelves, and now we get to sit back and listen to everybody +++++ about it.

Is any of this making sense?
What you are asking wa to do, is release a hack, that he completely is not comfortable to release to anyone but those who have taken the time to help, or chance something on thier server, because we agreed to the risks without +++++ing like some paying customer at a greasy burger joint, so that he can develop, figure out the bugs that were found by people who are nothing more than testing it, and not listen to complaints or a mass amount of +++++ing from people who know nothing about it including installing it.

Why is this so hard to understand? He just wants it to be "rite" when it is released.

Potential customers? Wa has a donation set up, but there is nothing said about having to buy it.

i think what most people who disapprove of this faction, or structure of release are not understanding, is that it is a HACK, and as such, a very involved HACK. WA has taken a great deal of time to address bugs in this HACK so that when he releases it, the HACK should be virtually fail safe. There are several installations now that have gone without a hitch, however, that does not mean that wa should go running to release it just to please curiousity now does it?

Its called responsibility. If wa did not care about what was being released, or the very fact his name is attached to the hack, than sure, everybody would get what they wished for, and that would be a unfinished product.

And no, this is not a issue of exlusion, or inclusion. A couple of people have made that a issue, when it has no bearings on wa timeline of release anyways. If you want something that will work, than sit back and wait. If you want something now, that will virtually give you headaches because the person created the hack didnt care enough to listen, because you want it now, than you are barking up the wrong tree.
